Lightweight Hauck Atlantic Twin Double Buggy in Grey Stroller

Double strollers are a lifesaver when you have two kids and need to travel to your destination. These narrow strollers have independent reclining seats and easy-to-use sunshades.

This lightweight twin stroller weighs only 24 lbs when both kid seats attached. It folds down into a compact size that is self-standing, as well as the strap for carrying it in the trunk of your car or taking on vacation.

Side-by-Side

The size, quality, and weight of a double stroller significantly affect how easy it is to push. In addition to the size and weight the type of wheels, tires, and suspension also affect the ease with which a stroller turns and maneuvers in tight spaces. And, of course the number of children and how much stuff you keep in them determines how difficult or simple it is to push.

Side-by-side strollers have two seats adjacent to each other, and are generally considered easier to maneuver than tandem or front-to-back models. However, the larger frame of a stroller that is side-by-side typically means that it is more difficult to pass through doors that are standard. A side-by-side can't accommodate your child's car seat comfortably, based on its height.

Another factor to consider with side-byside strollers is that the seat backs tend to be lower than those of single strollers. This can make it difficult for older children to take in the scenery or chat with their friends. Seating arrangements can also cause conflicts among siblings if you have children of different age groups.

A tandem stroller is a great option for siblings with similar ages. This type of double stroller is more movable and has a higher resale price than other types. The only downside is that a tandem stroller can be more expensive than a side by side model.

If you are an avid runner, and intend to take your stroller for long walks or runs it is worth investing in a light double stroller that has smooth suspension. These strollers come with more robust and larger tires than standard double strollers and can handle off-road terrain, as well as pavement. They're usually a little heavier than the typical side-by-side stroller. However, they're also easier to maneuver and more sturdy.

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller offers a great example of a lightweight tandem stroller that is inexpensive and of high quality. It's also compatible with wide variety of infant car seats which makes it a great option for twins.

Tandem

If your family is expanding with the addition of a second baby or twins, or you have a toddler as well as a younger infant there are many options available for a double stroller. You'll have to think about the size, maneuverability and storage capacity of each model.

Tandem strollers have a smaller profile than side-by-side models. They are able to maneuver through crowded areas or in tight aisles of stores. They're not as simple to fold down as single-to-double models, and they can be cumbersome when loaded with children and cargo.

The UPPAbaby Vista is our top choice for a lightweight, all-around tandem stroller. It is a popular choice for families with only one child. It comes with a toddler's seat that can be used in conjunction with the stroller and a modular Rumble Seat that can be used to add an additional child later (carriers are sold separately). The seats are spacious and comfortable with deep seat adjustments. The canopy is also spaciously sizeable and features peekaboo windows, and both seats recline independently of each other.

The Jogger City Select is another good option for a lightweight tandem. It's a jogging stroller great for active families with two kids or parents who love to take their kids hiking and on park trails. The seats are large and comfy, with built-in adjustable leg and foot rests. The canopy is a little smaller than those on our other strollers that are lightweight however they do come with nice-sized pop-out sunshades with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows.

A light double stroller should also have a foldable feature that can be completed with one hand and a brake that is simple to operate by one parent, and padded straps around the waist and shoulders to provide comfort. We also like having a large, easy-to access under-seat storage basket as well as side and back pockets. If you're planning to take your kids for frequent jogging you should consider a double jogger. It's quick and agile, with a broad, padded handlebar that makes steering easy and a sturdy frame to support the extra weight of two kids.

Front-to-Back

A double stroller is the best method to transport two kids who are either on the verge or walking. A double umbrella stroller is a compact, inexpensive solution that allows you to bring your child's oldest with you while you go shopping or eat out and explore. This kind stroller wasn't a favorite among our testers due to its fragile frames and wobbly tires. Some even have exposed fasteners that are rough or even fabrics that are not skin-friendly.

Furthermore, the front seat is also small and sloping. Some parents have reported that their kids slide right out of the seat if they are not properly buckled in. The 5-point harnesses can chafe the skin if they're too thin. The Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, however, is relatively lightweight and can be folded easily to fit in small trunks and cars. It is compatible with two infant car seats which is perfect for families with toddlers or young infants on the move.

Tandem strollers are an excellent choice for urban dwellers who need to maneuver in small spaces and along sidewalks, since they typically have more room than side-by-side alternatives. However, they can be difficult to navigate on unpaved paths, grass and curbs. They occupy more space when folded than side-by-side models, which could be an issue for those who live in small homes or apartments.

Our double stroller reviews will help you select the best lightweight option for you and your family. If you intend to use your stroller in busy urban areas, you need to choose one that's easy to steer around, turn and push. Families who are planning to use their strollers less often may be able to spend a little more for a model which includes more features and seating options. If you're looking for a light double stroller, don't be hesitant to look at other brands in addition to our top picks. A lot of our top-rated models are available in a variety of colors and come with a variety of additional features, including a parent tray and a foot brake, large storage baskets and many more.

Compact

If you have two children younger than 5 years old, double strollers are an essential piece of equipment. You can monitor your toddler and care for your infant using the double stroller. It also saves space in your car and lets you brave crowded supermarket aisles and parks as well as urban streets with just one pair of hands.

When you're looking for an easy-to-use double stroller, it's important to think about how you intend to utilize it. Some parents opt for a single-to-double stroller that can be converted to double as they have a child, and then add another seat as their family grows. This might seem like an ideal idea at the time, but we've observed that families would be better off investing in a light double stroller made specifically for their child's stage and age.

The best double strollers for compact size come with a variety of configurations and features such as ample storage as well as multiple cup holders for adults, adjustable handlebars and canopies with windows that peek out. Some even come with an integrated bassinet that makes them perfect for newborns and infants. They are small and fold almost flat. This makes them an excellent choice for parents who have limited storage space.

When you are choosing a light double-stroller you must also take into consideration how it performs on different surfaces and terrains. Some strollers are difficult to maneuver through tight areas and up curbs, whereas others are more suited to challenging terrain. Some jogging walkers include special suspensions that let them navigate across rough surfaces and pavements without causing any friction to their riders.

Finally, it's also a good idea to know how much each stroller weighs before purchasing. The lighter the stroller, the easier it will be to push and carry. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Graphite was the lightest stroller that we tested, with a weight of close to 23 lbs. Most of the models that we recommend in this guide weigh between 30 and 40 lbs.
